Spring and Jakarta upgradeFor: ADMINS
To maintain high security standards and keep dependencies supported and up to date, we’re upgrading Spring to the 6.x line, Jakarta to EE Platform 10, Apache Tomcat to 10.1 as well as other libraries that depend on Spring and Jakarta. The Apache Tomcat upgrade also introduces changes under the Jakarta Servlet specification. If you rely on custom server settings or connectors, review the following before upgrading:
- Check custom server.xml configurations, especially any references to "javax.servlet" APIs. Tomcat 10.1 has migrated to the "jakarta.servlet" namespace.
- Verify that any connectors (HTTP, AJP, etc.) are still supported and properly configured in Tomcat 10.1.
- Confirm that any security or TLS/SSL settings are compatible with Tomcat 10.1’s default cryptographic protocols. For detailed information on the changes introduced in Tomcat 10.1, consult the official Apache Tomcat documentation.
For: ADMINS
We’re removing some outdated AUI 10 components with design and accessibility issues (Dropdown 1 and Toolbar 1) and updating internal dependencies to better support jQuery 3 and proactively address security issues.
End of support for LESSFor: ADMINS
To enhance security and performance, we’re removing the ability to transform LESS to CSS at runtime and requiring it to be transpiled into CSS at compile time.
Removal of Trusted appsFor: ADMINS
Trusted apps won't be available starting from Confluence 10.0. We’re removing Trusted apps to reduce the number of insecure entry points into the products. We’ve replaced this way of exchanging information between Atlassian products with more secure solutions that follow industry best practices, like the OAuth 2.0 protocol.
End of support for the Original themeFor: ADMINS
With the new light and dark themes that brought accessibility and usability improvements, we’re removing the original theme from all products.
Global serialization filterFor: ADMINS
We’re implementing a global serialization filter that relies on a central blocklist for Java deserialization, Velocity, Struts, and XStream. This filter is designed to block specific classes and patterns that are recognized as vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) through publicly known gadget chains. We’ve implemented several important changes regarding the use of XStream:
- XStream now includes a predefined blocklist of known vulnerable classes that are prohibited from being serialized or deserialized.
- If there is a need to serialize or deserialize custom class types, apps must define these types in their module descriptor. For example:
For: ADMINS
In this release, app signing is enabled by default. This feature improves app security and was gradually rolled out across Data Center products. For details, check out this community post. App signing affects only new app installations; already installed apps will remain intact. The steps you need to take differ depending on whether you install applications from the Marketplace or build your custom applications.
- Configure the location of the truststore folder as described in Configuring UPM app signature check.
- Download and install the Atlassian Certificates bundle. For details, see Updating Atlassian Certificate Bundles.
- That’s it! Enjoy the safe app installations from the Marketplace.
- Install custom apps
- If you use custom application builds, you can sign and secure your apps:
- Configure the location of the truststore folder as described in Configuring UPM app signature check.
- Get the app signature and verification certificate as described in Generating app signature and verification certificate using OpenSSL.
- Put your new certificate in your trust store as described in Updating Atlassian Certificate Bundles.
- Install the signed application. You can also install the app via the file system without using the app signing feature. If you’re experiencing issues, check out App signing troubleshooting.
For: ADMINS
We're implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) in Confluence 10.0. This new feature enhances security by instructing your web browser on what content is allowed to run on the page, significantly reducing the risk of cross-site scripting (XSS) and other code injection attacks. By controlling which resources a document can load, CSP helps protect against data exfiltration and improves the overall stability and reliability of Confluence. In Confluence 10.0, the script-src CSP header is enabled in a report-only mode. This means that while the system logs any violations, it won't block resources, allowing us to monitor potential security issues without affecting your experience. Full enforcement of CSP will be introduced in Confluence 11.
Basic authentication disabled by defaultFor: ADMINS
We’re disabling authentication with basic authentication by default. This is a first step towards the removal of basic authentication altogether as we develop and mature alternatives to support the remaining few use cases. This change impacts only fresh installs (new customers); existing or upgraded Confluence setups won’t be affected.
Monitoring and observability of the Synchrony processFor: ADMINS
We're pleased to announce the launch of enhanced monitoring capabilities for the Synchrony component in Confluence. With this update, you can now monitor Synchrony processes more effectively, ensuring system reliability and quick problem resolution. This update will allow you to export core Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and Synchrony-specific metrics via JMX or statsD, facilitating better integration with your existing monitoring systems. Core JVM metrics include various performance indicators such as garbage collection, memory usage, and CPU utilization. These metrics provide insights into the overall health and performance of the JVM environment. Synchrony-specific metrics focus on the performance of the Synchrony process itself. They include message processing times, user activity, and error counts, helping you monitor and optimize the collaborative editing experience. For details on metrics, refer to Monitor and observe the Synchrony process. To configure monitoring, use system properties or environmental variables. If Synchrony is managed by Confluence, add these properties to the synchrony-args.properties file. For detailed configuration instructions, refer to Configuring Synchrony.
Add scopes to REST endpoints to use OAuth 2.0 2LOFor: ADMINS
We’ve introduced @ScopesAllowed to improve security and control over REST endpoints. Add the @ScopesAllowed annotation to your endpoints to make them accessible using an OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials token (2LO). For example, this annotation requires that the access token has the WRITE scope before providing access to this endpoint. @POST @ScopesAllowed(requiredScope = "WRITE") public void createEntity(...) {} Supported scopes are documented here:
- Confluence: OAuth 2.0 scopes for incoming links
- Jira: OAuth 2.0 scopes for incoming links
- Bitbucket: OAuth 2.0 scopes for incoming links
- Bamboo: OAuth 2.0 scopes for incoming links
- Crowd: Configuring an incoming link
For: ADMINS END USERS
You can set the number of labels shown in the Label List, Recently Used Labels, and Popular Labels macros using the Number of Labels to Display field. When searching for labels to display in a macro, Confluence processes up to 1,000,000 labels by default. Admins can change this limit by adding a system property to the configuration file. Raising the limit helps if your site has many labels and searches aren’t returning all results, but it may slow down performance. For detailed instructions and applicable macros, check Display Pages with Label Macros.

Controlled search reindex
For: ADMINS
You now have precise control over how you rebuild your site’s search index. You no longer have to spend time reindexing entire spaces or even the whole site when you only need to rebuild a portion of the content index.
You can now choose which elements you want to reindex for a space or site:
- Content, such as pages, blog posts, and comments
- Attachments
For site reindex, users
There's an issue with partial site reindexes in Confluence 9.5.1. Due to this issue, clustered environments currently support only full site reindex. This issue is fixed in Confluence 9.5.2.
See how to rebuild content index for your site or space
Exact search is now enabled by default for OpenSearch
For: ADMINS
We've enhanced exact searches in Confluence to provide more specific results. This feature ensures that exact searches return more precise matches by ignoring wrapping punctuation and capitalization of the indexed text.
Exact search is enabled by default for OpenSearch. Rebuild the search index to enable your users to perform exact string searching in Confluence.
Exact search isn't enabled by default for Chinese, Custom Japanese, and CJK indexing languages due to technical limitations. If you have instances that are indexing with these languages, you can enable exact search via a dark feature.
If you’re using Lucene as a search engine, you can also enable exact search via a dark feature.
Refer to Configuring search for more details and exact steps for OpenSearch and Lucene.
